In fact, the songs and stories she taught them are all, are still being sung and passed on to future generations. She is loved and missed She is survived by her mother, Edna H. Kay-Simons; sisters, Michele R. and Kar'en R. Simons; cousins, Monica and Harley Rudoi of New York, Gillian Brodie and other cousins of Great Britain, her dearest and closest friend, Jeannie Huffman Sorgenfrei-Swedberg; and her second family, the Huffmans. The family asks that you remember her and toast her life on New Year's Eve, as she would have turned 64. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that those planning an expression of sympathy consider Memorial Contributions directly to the Bangor Veterinary Clinic, 3917 N. Euclid Ave Bay City, MI 48706.
